Oh my mind! Do not think about anything that is remotely associated with this material world. Just think about a place in paramapadham, something which Ramanuja is going to bless us with. Picture the way Sriman Narayana resides with his consort Sri. Mahalakshmi in the throne of paramapadham along with the bliss the celestials and Nithya Mukthars enjoy in His company. Think about the obstructions that prevent you from achieving a place in paramapadham. Keep longing for the time when you can sever all connections with your body and keep thinking about the benefits that accrue to you after you have given up the body.

Oh Ramanuja! The great acharyas, who lived in the days of yore, have taken pity on us and blessed us with many of their scholarly works to lead us to liberation. I underwent formal tutorship to learn their works, understood them, wrote commentaries and spent my life delivering discourses on them for the benefit of the society. In all these days, I spent my life desirous of a place in this world without thinking about paramapadham – a place where Sriman Narayana resides permanently with his consort Sri. Mahalakshmi. The blessings of Ramanuja, whose fame is well-spread in all eight directions, have helped me recalibrate my true purpose of existence and have strengthened my resolve to seek liberation.
